Carreau, Bruno Vergnes, Michel Vincent\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Hanser Publications, United States\nImprint: Hanser Publications\nISBN-13: 9781569906057, 978-1569906057\nSynopsis\nEngineering of polymers is not an easy exercise: with evolving technology, it often involves complex concepts and processes. This book is intended to provide the theoretical essentials: understanding of processes, a basis for the use of design software, and much more.\n\nThe necessary physical concepts such as continuum mechanics, rheological behavior and measurement methods, and thermal science with its application to heating-cooling problems and implications for flow behavior are analyzed in detail. This knowledge is then applied to key processing methods, including single-screw extrusion and extrusion die flow, twin-screw extrusion and its applications, injection molding, calendering, and processes .
